Willie Otis Ford was born on June 9, 1944 in Enid, Oklahoma; he was the son of Ambus Covington and Eunice Viola (VanVranken) Ford. Willie was reared in Enid and attended Enid schools, graduating from Enid High School with the class of 1962. Willie was united in marriage to Mary Jean Branham on June 1, 1963 in Enid, Oklahoma. In their first year of marriage, Willie and Jean traveled, following Willie’s job, helping with the opening of two new locations for Sonic Drive Inn. Later, Willie began working in the automobile industry, living in several different states. This career would continue for the next thirty years. In 1977, Willie and his family settled in Fairview, Oklahoma. While in Fairview, Willie was diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease. Due to declining health he was forced to retire in 1988. During his retirement Willie worked briefly for the Enid News and Eagle as a District Manager. In July of 2014 the progression of his disease forced Willie to enter the Shattuck Nursing Home.

Willie is survived by his wife Jean Ford of the home; three daughters, Rebecca Owen and husband Robert of Shattuck; Deborah Wilson and husband Edward of Midwest City and Elisabeth Ford of Shattuck; seven grandchildren, Nicholas, Chelsea, and Marisa Owen, Liliana, Kehdal and Connor Robison and Jacey Wilson; five great grandchildren; one sister, LaVona Day of California; one brother, Charles Ford of Utah; and other family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, son Michael Eugene Ford, and one brother.
